This is almost as tall as 14 story building.

This is the tallest standing Ganesha statue in the world. It has 4 hands. Upper right hand holding jack fruit, upper left hand holding sugar cane, lower right hand holding banana, and lower left hand holding a mango. The statue was built on 40,000 square meters of land in Chachoengsao, to watch over the land and stand in harmony with the local way of living and economy.

Lord Ganesh is a popular Hindu god who helps people get past any obstacles and achieve their goals. Ganesh is worshipped by all classes of people and also worshipped by people from different beliefs and religions. The worship of Ganesh in Thailand emerged in the era when Brahmanism was spreading into South East Asia. Since then, Ganesh has been playing the role of the god of knowledge and wisdom. The faith in lord Ganesh by the Thai people is very strong with many statues of the deity throughout the country.

Construction began in 2009. The process was begun by casting each of Ganesh's 854 parts. Each part had a ceremony conducted before being assembled into the 39 meter tall statue.
